Supreme Court agrees to decide whether Trump can suspend asylum at the southern border
The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear Mullin v. Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, the challenge to President Trump's Jan. 20, 2025, proclamation declaring "an invasion is ongoing at the southern border" and the DHS guidance that barred migrants from applying for asylum, SCOTUSblog and the Washington Examiner reported. A federal judge threw out the guidance and a divided D.C. Circuit panel largely agreed, but that ruling stays on hold during the appeal, so the restrictions remain in place; the justices will also review how broad the lower court's order could be, while declining the government's class-action question. The Court also took up Robinhood Markets v. Sodha, a securities-disclosure case, with arguments in both likely next spring, SCOTUSblog said.
